Has anyone bought a Rolex from Bob's Watches in Huntington Beach, CA? Are they reputable? I found a very nice 2006 (Z serial) Sub with original box and papers for about $4000, I wonder if this is a legitimate place to buy a Rolex.

Any advice or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks.

I did find a good review under who's who. Other then that, I'm not sure. I've been on their site a few times as well. Never purchased anything from them though.

hi have you tried the trusted sellers on here or looked in the for sale section.

Dr. Robert · 23 January 2011, 05:22 AM

if the owner's name is Bob...it's gotta be a great place!

Buy here, why mess around and take a chance....

I buy from my AD, Gray Dealers I have known for years or TRF members only!

Thanks all. I looked through the sale section here and didn't find anything that offers similar price for the Z series Sub. I heard DavidSW has great reputation (so is Oscar (BodyBump)) but the price is not really much cheaper than Bernard's Watches or Swiss-Wrist. Oscar offers better price on his watches but they are a bit older than DavidSW's. Bob's Watches so far has the best price for used Rolex, it also includes 1-year warranty on the used watch. The fact that it offers full refund and is A+ BBB accredited business may just sway me to try it there.

If you do decide to go with Bob's, if you find time, please update us :)

Kanger · 26 January 2011, 07:17 AM

Hmmm, very low prices... In fact, suspiciously low prices. 2800 dollars for a V serial Explorer? 55 for a V serial GMT Ceramic, hmmm I would like some feedback on this.

Well, MichaelM said he would pass by the store a long time ago?

I am waiting on my Sub to arrive this week - they provide registered USPS mail which takes FOREVER!! I'll update y'all as soon as I get the watch and perhaps post some pics.

snowbird · 26 January 2011, 10:41 AM

I'm not familiar with them but they have an A rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Xpert37 · 26 January 2011, 11:41 AM

Yes, it is one of the reasons I bought from them - they do have BBB rating of A and they are in fact much cheaper than even the favorite sellers on this forum. Stay tuned!

beerformeplz · 26 January 2011, 11:46 AM

There was another thread started where the owner chimed in.

beerformeplz · 26 January 2011, 11:48 AM

Never mind thats his buy price.

Xpert37 · 26 January 2011, 12:39 PM

Can someone send me the link of the thread where the owner of Bob's Watches chimed in? I am curious as to what he says. Thanks.

Someone on this forum is currently selling a new GMT IIc for $6250, so for $5595 for the 2008 V series is not too farfetched?
